A gibberish generator

#Gibber

A simple generator of a memorizable gibberish phrase. The phrase can be generated either from a random number of given entropy (i.e. a bit count) or from a given number.

Based on the idea of proquints (http://arXiv.org/html/0901.4016).

Usage:

python gibber.py -r BITCOUNT [-p PHRASE]

Generates a random phrase of atleast BITCOUNT bit entropy (uses os.urandom to generate the random number)

python gibber.py -h HEXNUM [-p PHRASE]

Converts given hexadecimal number (for example, 8ABEF00B) into a phrase.

The generated gibberish will have a capital letter, a number and a character.

A PHRASE consists of the following reserved letters:

• c - one of 16 consonants (4 bits entropy)

• v - one of 4 vowels (2 bits entropy)

• y - one of 8 double vowels (3 bits entropy)

• d - one of 16 composite consonants from eastern european languages (4 bits entropy)

• z - 0 or 1 (1 bit entropy)

• n - one of 16 easy to remember two digit numbers (4 bits entropy)

• p - one of 8 punctuation signs (3 bits entropy)

• { - reserved, see below

• } - reserved, see below

• The reserved symbols can be in the upper case, indicating an upper case symbol.

• Any other symbol (including a space) will be added as is.

For example,

python gibber.py -r 66 -p "Cvcvc dycv n a p"

may correspond to

Faval frini 66 a ?

or

Muwol rvyujo 60 a *

The opening and closing curly brackets are reserved to form a repeated word.

For example,

python gibber.py -r 66 -p V{c}

can make the following phrase, consisting of on vowel and different consonants (66 bits):

Ojznjzksgnwhntggd

To generate a standard proquint of 64 bit entropy use this phrase:

python gibber.py -r 64 -p cvcvc{-cvcvc}
